Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 136 You'd Better Watch Your Words
Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing's interlocked fingers were not done in secret, or perhaps it was intentional.

Therefore, Xie Changting could see Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing holding hands with just a glance.

These two people...

Xie Changting's gentle gaze darkened slightly, and the gentleness in his eyes faded considerably.

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke with a slightly warning gaze.

That's good enough!

But is Xiao Ke the kind of person who is content with "good enough"?
No!

He gently stroked Shen Youqing's hand with his fingers, an intimate gesture that gave Shen Youqing a strange feeling of being licked and coveted by a wild beast.

"Was something happy happen before?" Xiao Ke asked casually, but only he knew the probing meaning behind his words.

When Xiao Ke asked about this, Shen Youqing's lips curled up slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke's gaze darkened slightly.

“I’ll bet a spirit stone that Shen Qiuluo came to the Qingyu Sect only to chase after a man.” As he said this, Shen Youqing’s smile deepened, but it was laced with sarcasm.

Xiao Ke stared at Shen Youqing, his gaze momentarily faltering.

Was that what it was all for?

"Miss Shen, you're trying to shift the blame onto Changyan," Xie Changting said in a gentle, seemingly helpless tone.

Shen Youqing turned her head to look over, slightly pressing down the corners of her mouth to make her expression look more sincere, "How can this be called shifting the blame? It can only be said that Xie Changyan is very charming."

Regarding Shen Qiuluo's feelings for Xie Changyan, she really didn't know who to sympathize with for a moment.

Xie Changyan is a promising candidate for the Ruthless Path!
Shen Qiuluo fell in love with him, but all her sincere feelings were completely wasted.

As for Xie Changyan... there's not much to say, he just had the worst luck imaginable.

Based on the not-so-deep bond between her and her fellow disciples in their past lives, she would only feel a shallow sympathy for three seconds!

"There's something off about those words coming from Miss Shen's mouth," Xie Changting said jokingly.

Watching the two chatting and laughing, Xiao Ke's fingers tightened slightly.

dislike.

I still don't like it when her gaze falls on other people!

Just as Shen Youqing was about to speak, he felt a tightness in his hand and looked away from Xiao Ke, asking him with his eyes what was wrong.

"You know that Shen Qiuluo likes Xie Changyan?" Xiao Ke stared intently at Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing's surprised expression was reflected in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Senior brother, you knew?" Shen Youqing was genuinely surprised. She wanted to circle around the flute several times to examine it. "When did you find out?"

Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing in surprise after a moment's thought, "You're only just finding out?"

Given Shen Qiuluo's secretive and cover-up, is Shen Youqing a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to matters of the heart?

Maybe yes.

Shen Youqing hummed in agreement, looking at Xiao Ke with shock and curiosity, her eyes filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.

Looking at Shen Youqing who had moved closer to him, Xiao Ke didn't answer, but just quietly watched her.

Shen Youqing's gaze remained fixed on him.

Xie Changting is not as dense as Shen Youqing; he is very perceptive and insightful.

He glanced at Xiao Ke and immediately understood most of what was going on in Xiao Ke's eyes.

To avoid being misunderstood, Xie Changting subtly moved two steps to the side to show his attitude.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ke nodded slightly to Xie Changting.

Xie Changting nodded slightly in return, adhering to etiquette, and then glanced at Shen Youqing, who was completely unaware of the situation.

Being targeted by such a... madman, Miss Shen is truly unlucky.

"Junior Sister Youqing?" Chu Jianyan's gentle, smiling voice rang out.

Shen Youqing turned her head to look, but when she wanted to raise her hand to wave, she found that her right hand was being held back. So she could only raise her left hand and wave at Chu Jianyan, her tone cheerful, "Senior Sister Chu!"

When Yan first saw Shen Youqing waving her left hand, she curiously looked over and saw that her right hand was intertwined with the fingers of a large, well-defined hand.

!

That hand clearly belongs to a man!
When Yan first saw the claw, she looked up and saw Xiao Ke's incomparably handsome face.

"You two..." Chu Jianyan stared at the two of them with their fingers intertwined, her mind reeling, her face filled with shock.

They've only been working on separate tasks for a few days, right?

Have these two progressed from having a good relationship as senior and junior students to holding hands?

Is this the Hehuan Sect?
Terrifying indeed?

Shen Youqing shook her head, but couldn't shake it off, so she glared at Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke looked at her with an innocent expression, as if he knew nothing.

Shen Youqing glanced at Xiao Ke with a look that seemed to both want to say something and scold him, then looked back at Chu Jianyan, who was so shocked that she was speechless, and gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Um, Senior Sister Chu, if I said that there's nothing between my senior brother and me, would you believe me?"

After saying this, Shen Youqing was so guilty that she almost covered her face.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ke's fingers were intertwined, this statement would have been somewhat convincing, but unfortunately...

Looking at Shen Youqing, whose eyes and brows betrayed a hint of guilt, Chu Jianyan pointed to herself and asked softly, "Junior Sister Youqing, do I look like a fool to you?"

She's not blind!
Those two hands are interlocked!
If there's nothing else, she'll go and chop Xie Siyuan's head off.

"..." Shen Youqing twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression showing a helpless sense of resignation.

She's in a situation where she can't clear her name no matter what she does now.

Xiao Ke leaned close to Shen Youqing's ear and whispered, "Is this a case of daring to do something but not daring to admit it? Or... is it that you don't want to take responsibility?"

"When have I ever dared to do something but not to admit it?" Looking at Xiao Ke's feigned innocence and mischievous expression, Shen Youqing smiled slightly. "Xiao Ke, I advise you to be careful with your words."

Xiao Ke let out an "Oh," looking at Shen Youqing like a wronged little wife, angry but not daring to speak out.

Shen Youqing looked at the aggrieved and pitiful Xiao Ke, but felt no sympathy whatsoever.

"let go."

Xiao Ke remained silent, as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing the man pretending to be deaf and dumb, Shen Youqing paused in her attempt to crack her knuckles. She leaned closer and saw that Xiao Ke's drooping eyes were slightly red.

Noticing Shen Youqing approaching, Xiao Ke slightly raised his eyes to look at her, her reddened eyes both pitiful and alluring.

"...I won't care if you get beaten to death later." After saying that, Shen Youqing went to check on the situation on the arena.

Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing with an almost greedy gaze. Although she looked somewhat pitiful, her gaze became extremely aggressive.

As Shen Quelin and Xie Changyan came down from the arena, they saw Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke almost touching each other.

Shen Quelin looked at the two hands clasped together, his expression turned cold, but surprisingly he didn't say anything.

"Not bad, you've made progress." Shen Youqing cleared his throat and said, "It's clear that you've been diligently building your foundation lately."

Xie Changyan strode over, and seeing the two people behaving intimately and generously, a ripple of emotion flickered in his eyes before he walked to Xie Changting's side.

"You've made great progress," Xie Changting's gentle voice rang out.

Xie Changyan gave a cold reply.

"Your father is already searching for a spirit sword for you," Xie Changting said gently. "He will definitely find one for you before the sect competition."

Xie Changyan responded.

Xie Changting was already used to his cold and taciturn younger brother.

"The sect competition?" Chu Jianyan asked in surprise, then suddenly realized, "That's right, the Qingyu Sect's sect competition is in six months."
